To me it was never much of a social drug. True, we'd partake as a group and pass it around...but I always found it stifled conversation rather than stimulated it. It's probably different for other people. I just remember everyone sitting around in silence, like me probably worrying that the lack of conversation was their fault. Paranoia
But for sitting on my own and getting into music, oh la la.
When I was 19 I had a job delivering milk for a while. I worked with my dad. We'd start at 2am and finish at about 9am. It was kind of a ritual to smoke a joint together in the truck on the way home. He'd drop me off at my place and I would go inside and put my headphones on, smoke another doobie and have a blissful stoned hour of Zappa before catching a few hours of sleep. That to me was always the best way to get stoned - a reward after a bout of hard work, just me and the music.
Anything in the terms and conditions pertaining to talking about illegal substances? LOL! Personally I don't think there's any harm in it. Some people have trouble winding down. Some like a little drink, others prefer a crafty toke now and then. I was always in the latter camp. I cannot stand alcohol, does nothing for me at all. Nowadays I smoke once in a blue moon, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. All I need is a tiny little bit to blow my mind. Back when I smoked regularly, I could smoke a couple of bongs and wouldn't even feel it. Perhaps I'd feel a little less fidgety, lol. Like any other drug you build up a tolerance and then the highs aren't so intense any more.
